Honeypot traps
Invisible links and pages that humans never see. AI agents can't resist following them — and when they do, Badger logs every hit.
- Invisible to humans, irresistible to bots
- Identify crawler type, instance, timestamp
- One-click block or allow per agent
- Hidden links injected into page markup
- Customisable trap page content
- Zero false positives — humans never trigger
September 2025 — WordPress agencies managing client sites will need to prove cyber resilience. Are you ready?
Your control surface
One dashboard. Every threat, every agent, every compliance check — plus direct feeds from Wordfence, Sucuri, and the tools you already run. Snap panels in and out — arrange it how you think.
Automatic detection & disclosure of known vulnerabilities
Real-time alert system with 24h reporting window
Supply chain verification for all dependencies
Immutable log of all security events & actions
Defense-in-depth architecture, minimal attack surface
Automatic patching pipeline with rollback
Plug into your stack
Pull threat intelligence from Wordfence, Sucuri, Patchstack, and iThemes directly into the dashboard. Route alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, or your SIEM. Every integration gets its own panel — snap it in, arrange it, done. Your existing security tools become data sources, not silos.
Built for everyone
Toggle monochromatic mode for reduced visual noise. WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios, full keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and no reliance on color alone — every status uses text labels alongside visual indicators. Security should be accessible to every team member, not just the ones with perfect vision.
Integrates with your existing security stack
